Editorial Review for Swank Gear – by Cindy Yogmas
The Scene
Punk rock decadence: fuzzy pink undies, leopard print and leather skirts, fishnet stockings, flames and skulls embroidery. This is not a description of the last Misfits concert; it's Swank Gear's aesthetic. This store has its own flamboyantly care-free sensibility: get what you can and flaunt it all, regardless of how lewd, crude and tasteless. Almost every genre of street fashion is covered: punk rock, gothic, rockabilly, club-goer. It's all relatively cheap, ranging from $20 T-shirts to $90 dresses.
What Else
Aside from clothing, Swank Gear specializes in underground comics, tattoo aficionado periodicals, purses, pins, patches, Zippo lighters, chain wallets and even some boxing nuns. Even the home furnishings scream rock and roll, with zebra print lamps and pin-up girl candles. Not for your Grandma's living room.
